I'm considering buying a 2005 2 wheel drive extended cab Ranger XL with 71,000 miles on it. It has the 3.0 v6 engine. The asking price is $9,900. I'm a little leary because of the mileage. How much mileage before these trucks start having major problems? Here's some pics. This truck is basically going to be a seconday vehicle which is why i'm looking at 2 wheel drives. Here's some photos. I'm thinking I could find a better deal for that price.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't get an XL, even if it is a second vehicle. And yes that seems a bit much for a 2005 basic model

nothing wrong with an XL, i have one, and its been the best truck i've ever owned... as for the price, according to KBB, hes about $1,900 overpriced for the mileage... as for the motor, i would stay away from the 3.0L, you are basically getting the power of the 2.5L with the mileage of a 4.0L... now if your looking for something quick,and good mileage get the 2.3L
